Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Launch the Microsoft Teams application.

2.  Navigate to **Apps** > **Upload a customised app**.

    **Note:**

    Ensure that ServiceNow for Microsoft Teams is allowed as a third-party app in Microsoft Teams. For information about allowing apps in Microsoft Teams, see the [Microsoft Teams documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/app-policies).

3.  Navigate to the location where the manifest file is downloaded and select the zip file.

4.  Select **Open**.

    The **ServiceNow for Teams** appears in the **Apps** screen.

5.  Select the **ServiceNow for Teams** app.

6.  Select **Add**.

    The ServiceNow for Teams app appears in Microsoft Teams.

    -   **Chat**: Begin your conversation with the Virtual Agent to get help.

    -   **Employee Center**: Select the **Employee Center** tab to view the organization updates and the status on your tasks and requests.

    **Note:** If you don't want to create a manifest file, you can edit an existing manifest file as required. After updating the existing manifest file, you can download and upload the manifest file in Microsoft Teams to make the changes effective.
